Working diligently with my librarian hat on. I am really proud of how well we took care of our things and collectables...just kinda forgot. We have hundreds of quality pieces some seldom seen especially in the U.S. Some are rare or at least hard to find. I welcome International BuyersI know you have to pay high taxes for both countries and it takes forever, but collecting is like that, I know.

If the record/tape/whatnot is a mess - you will know about it and see it, if it was a cut out , I will show and tell.  Nonsmoking home, original owners (okay a few finds in thrifting Years ago)...Happy to pass on to someone who wants it.

WE HAVE A WORKING REGA TURNTABLE, A GOOD NEEDLE AND A DOUBLE TAPE DECK -WE SPOT CHECK MOST EVERYTHING.

AllMusic Review by Ned Raggett

With its two sides split between Perry and Gerrard's vocal efforts, Within the Realm of a Dying Sun serves as both a display for the ever more ambitious band and a chance for the two to individually demonstrate their awesome talents. Beginning with the portentous "Anywhere Out of the World," a piece that takes the deep atmospherics of "Enigma of the Absolute" to a higher level with mysterious, chiming bells, simple but effective keyboard bass and a sense of vast space, the album finds Dead Can Dance on a steady roll. Once again a range of assistant musicians provide even more elegance and power to the band's work, with a chamber string quartet plus various performers on horns, woodwind, and percussion. Impressive though the remainder of the first side is, Gerrard's showcase on the second half is even more enveloping and arguably more successful. The martial combination of drums and horns that start "Dawn of the Iconoclast" call to mind everything from Wagner to Laibach, but Gerrard's unearthly alto, at its most compelling here, elevates it even higher. "Cantara" is no less impressive, a swirling, drum-heavy song that sounds equally inspired by gypsy dancing, classical orchestras and any number of Arab musical traditions. "Summoning of the Muse" is perhaps too formal in comparison, though still quite impressive, but "Persephone" is the finer effort and a good way to close.

Vinyl collecting tips

Check the edition of the record, i.e. whether or not it is a standard copy, a REPRESS (non-original), or a PROMO (usually worth a lot more as they were released in limited numbers before being commercially released).

*FIRST (1ST) PRESS: These LPs are the very first to come off the production line and are made directly from the mother Discs, the matrix numbers usually end in -1.

*MATRIX NUMBERS: These are numbers found etched into the vinyl between the final track and label. Each side should have a different number. They tell you when are where the LP was made, if the matrix numbers end in -1 it usually means they are 1st pressings.

Bear in mind that some releases get a simultaneous release on multiple formats within the same territory, and then you have the releases that may be released at the same time in completely different territories often by different labels.
